Thank you for voting in my last poll! A review of In the Heat of the Night will be forthcoming.

Even me, a die-hard movie fan, has a list of movies they are ashamed to admit they either haven’t seen or don’t remember seeing. I’m not going to air all my shameful misses now…but here are three that I sincerely regret not seeing.

You hold the cards (or remote, if you will)…let your vote be counted!

Voting is open until next Sunday (February 5) and please leave a comment as to why you chose what you chose 🙂

To cap off an especially lazy weekend, we have a nice little awards show on tonight.

I’ve always been a particular fan of The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards due to the fact that they retain some of the glitz and glam of The Oscar while keeping their tongues planted firmly in cheek. This is really a ceremony for actors by actors and it shines through every year. I like how they go into the audience and have random stars give their reasons why they are proud to be a member of SAG. Some are funny, some are poignant…but all are interesting.

While actors nominate the acting awards for the Oscars, the Academy as a whole votes for the final winners. Here, members of SAG are nominated and voted on by their peers…which is why many winners say how much this particular award means to them.

As to who will win? I’m thinking the winners are going to stick pretty close to the awards that have already been given out this year. I’d love a few shockers but it’s been a good year for acting/ensembles so all truly are winners.

Here are the nominees for tonight…I’ve underlined who I think will walk away the winner.
